Pros: Was lightning fast when it was new! Now it's more than 5 years old and still running.

Cons: Not the fastest when new, now it's a dinosaur

Overall Review: I can't believe I'm writing this review from a computer that is running an over 5 year old SSD! I had purchased this drive to speed up a laptop, but that laptop was too slow to benefit from the upgrade. I purchased a refurbished 2012 model 3rd Gen i5 laptop and installed this drive in it and it feels like a much younger computer. For hardware that is over 5 years old, this stuff has no business running faster than some "New" laptops! Back to this drive: 5 years and still running! No sense in spending $$$ to replace it in a 5 year old laptop, it probably wouldn't benefit from anything faster. Sure, it's not "Optane" fast, but it is a web browser that I can use on the couch.

Pros: Paid very little for this card after the mir. Works well and plays the older games that my 7yo plays.

Cons: Runs very hot!! 160 F idle Tried everything I could think of. Underclocked, backed off voltage, I even pointed a couple fans at it and still hot. Hot enough to smell the exhaust from the case.

Overall Review: Used this as a cheap way to upgrade my son from my latest upgrade. Too bad its a fire hazard

Pros: Fast. Low power consumption. Great product at a good price. Very happy.

Cons: PNY has a bad name but may be coming around

Pros: Good cables

Cons: Company does not honor rebates

The products from ADATA are top notch, I have been extremely happy with their memory and SSD drives in the past, so I stuck with them for my Daughter's new gaming build. Great XPG memory and SSD, fast shipping. My only complaint, they ship FedEx "Signature Required" which required me to drive to a FedEx location for pickup.

NovaShop has been my go-to seller on anything not sold directly by Newegg. They have been well priced and shipped on time. I have nothing bad to say about them so far.

No problem with this order, some Marketplace sellers are terrible, this is not one of them.
